ESPN hasn’t said much about analyst Rex Ryan following his recent arrest in Nashville for running over the feet of two pedestrians with his truck. It has sparked a question as to whether Ryan will appear on ESPN’s Sunday morning pregame show.
“As of now, Rex will appear as scheduled, including on Sunday NFL Countdown,” ESPN said on Saturday night.
It’s not believed that Ryan will be addressing the matter on the air.
He faces six misdemeanors as a result of the November 4 incident. He’s due in court next month.
Video of the incident reportedly exists. It has yet to be released. It probably will emerge at some point.
Of course, Ryan’s presence (or not) may not have even been noticed; with the Patriots and Lions playing at 9:30 a.m. ET, who’ll be watching the ESPN pregame show?
